END GBV NOE

Research has proven that women and girl children particularly those who are living in rural places are subjected to violence and they are living under the set line of poverty .

This can be caused my numerous factors and i want to discuss those factors stay with me

1) In most of African countries people especially the indigenous inhabitant still have this mindset that women and girl child are not entitled to go to school and learn and their daily routine is to wash dishes and stay home that's a wrong perception . And because this children and women are not sensitized enough to know when abused Man takes advantage of them . We need to stand in solidarity and advocate for a girl child education remember education is the key that can unlock many doors . You will be shocked to learn that even now they are some girl children that has not went through formal education.

2)Lucky enough these who become fortunate and penetrate the industrial market they are cursing their job everyday because of their male counterparts it is believed that they are some jobs and certain height that a woman can reach and she cant go beyond that especially in works that comprises of mines agricultural sector Maths and science related fields and also in chieftancy .

Its mind set we as africans we think they are the so called male dominated fields it cant be correct so all this things contribute to numerous domestic abuse and even killings that happens in every household . Lets stand up and educate a girl child policies and laws need to be revised to align them with the present situation.
